Should a woman be treated differently if...

Anyone, man or woman, in a public setting, who wears a hood with only their eyes showing or is naked, I would treat with suspicion just like any other normal human being should.

And, in some cases, certain clothing is expected in the situation, and if a person does not meet those expectations, they will be treated differently. For example, I wouldn't think anything of a burka at a funeral, but if someone showed up to a funeral naked I'd tell them to get out - or perhaps treat them as if they're mentally ill.

What if it was the funeral of a naturist?

Oddly enough when you are naked in public as part of a large group, whether it is naked rambling in the mountains or part of the naked bike ride, it's only the Christians that ever take offence. No one else minds. I was in a naked rambling group in the Austrian Alps once. On the last day of the holiday we started to come across a variety of Christian rambling groups. Sometimes the leaders at the front of a group would get everyone to turn their backs to us until we had passed by.

You know who it pissed off in our group? The Christian naturists who were trying to be as God originally made us in the garden of Eden.

If you're in a building of worship? Do you think both women should be treated equally even though one is disrespecting the religious values of a place people may consider to be sacred?

What if you're in a stuck elevator and your police scanner announces that there may be an armed suspected murderer stuck in the elevator?

What if youre at a nude water park?

What if you the naked lady is brushing her boobs against you every time she walks by?

What if the burka lady is doing the funky chicken?

We treat people differently for different reasons all the time. The question in the OP is poorly worded at best.

No, we shouldn't treat them differently based on their clothing. Context and mannerisms have nothing to do with clothing.

People who will be attracted to said woman when she's naked might get horny and such, but they shouldn't treat her differently. They might act differently around her, but they shouldn't make a point of treating her differently.

Nor should they if they see her in a burka, clearly. They might think she's a Muslim, though, and indulge in a couple of preconceptions about her. They shouldn't strive to let her know it, though. That's the whole point.

I'll slap her around either way, and she'll love it. Smile

Actually this is how my wife decided how her  and I would resolve heated discussions.  When the conversation gets heated or unpleasant she starts undressing.  It is actually quite difficult to converse with someone that is naked, at least for me.  

It has been an effective method of conflict resolution between us.

I assume she wins all the arguments?

I don't agree that clothing doesn't matter. If I see a guy dressed as a proselytizing Mormon, I will not make any cringeworthy perv jokes to him. If I see a naked girl, I will not try to recruit her to my purity club, if I see a man in a business suit I will not offer him half of my sandwich unless he actually mentions being hungry, if I see a woman in a burqa I will not invite her to my skinny dipping party.

Clothes do not determine a person's value or worth. They are a factor in determining how I will treat a person though. People can deny it if they want to seem PC but everyone knows it's true.

I think a woman should always be treated fairly, yet most certainly in deference to how she would treat anyone else.

Dude, I left when you asked already, sheesh. Just drop it.

Women should not be treated differently than men. Only religiously culturally suppressed societies view women as inferior, and fuck that way of thinking.
